Features & Benefits

• High performance, two-pack, water-based epoxy floor and wall coating
• For interior concrete, wood or steel floors and wall areas requiring a tough, quick drying, hard wearing, easy to clean, flexible coating with excellent chemical and water resistance
• Ideal for areas requiring regular deep clean and anti-graffiti finish
• Low odour during application makes it ideal for food preparation and hygiene areas including breweries and bakeries
• Can be used with Bradite Low Slip Additive LS30 to provide additional under foot traction
• Manufactured under the auspices of an ISO 9001:2008 quality & ISO 14001:2004 environmental management systems
• Complies with BS 476 Part 6 & 7: Fire propagation index, I; 2.5, Surface spread of flame; Class 1, Building Regulations 1991, “Fire Safety”, Document B [para. A12(b)]: Class 0

Preparation

For internal steel, wood, concrete, ceramic and terracotta tiles and other absorbent mineral substrates which are dry, free of contamination, dust, efflorescence and properly prepared and primed.

Floor Preparation

• Substrates should be dust free and completely dry before coating
• When painting concrete it is vital to ensure that the substrate is completely dry and free of laitance. If the concrete is loose, chipping or has concrete dust present, the coating will not perform properly unless all loose material and dust is removed and damaged areas are repaired
• Power floated, shiny or unpainted non porous concrete floors should be thoroughly vacuum blast cleaned to a roughness profile of 30-50 microns, or acid etched using Bradite Acid Etch TA37, or primed using Bradite Floor Primer ES40. Please consult the product data sheet for more details
• High pressure water cleaning should be utilised to remove all loose and flaking paint and contamination back to a sound substrate. Bradite TD39 industrial strength detergent should be used if necessary to remove all grease and oil
• Intact areas of existing coatings should be roughened by abrasive manual or disc rubbing and feathered back to a sound coating edge. Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable screed or mortar before painting. Substrate should be dust free and completely dry before coating
• Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable screed or mortar before painting. Substrate should be dust free and completely dry before coating

Wall Preparation - New building Or Total Repair

• When painting new plaster it is vital to ensure the substrate is fully cured and free of laitance
• Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable filler before painting
• Remove all loose and flaking paint back to a sound substrate
• High gloss coatings should be abraded to provide a mechanical key
• Substrate should be dust free and completely dry before coating
• Bradite TD39 industrial strength detergent should be used with scrubbing, washing and rinsing to remove grease or oil

Industrial Protective Coating Preparation

• High pressure steam cleaning to remove all loose, flaking paint and contamination back to a sound surface
• Bradite TD39 industrial strength detergent, washing and rinsing should be used with scrubbing to remove grease or oil
• For new or total repair, steel should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 minimum with a blast profile of 35-50 microns. (For maintenance repair, sweep blast or mechanically abrade existing coating to provide a key. Damaged or rusty areas should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 or mechanically to SIS St 3 minimum)

Application

Painting System:

• • Thin first coat on new or uncoated concrete, wood or plaster by 20-30% to enable penetration and binding of substrate. Application and use should always conform to the codes of practice described in BS 6150 and BS 5493
  • For application on concrete, wood or other absorbent substrates, the first coat should be thinned 10-20% with water to allow penetration into the substrate [If Bradite Floor Primer ES40 has been used then the priming coat of Bradite HD Floor and Wall should be omitted]
  • For application on plaster or other absorbent substrates, the first coat should be thinned 10-20% with water to allow penetration into the substrate
  • For new or total repair, steel should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 minimum with a blast profile of 35-50 microns. (For maintenance repair, sweep blast or mechanically abrade existing coating to provide a key. Damaged or rusty areas should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 or mechanically to SIS St 3 minimum)
• For maintenance painting the 1st coat will be a touch up to bare areas only
• Applicable by brush, roller, conventional air spray and airless spray:
  • Brush and Roller – Supplied ready for use. Thin, if required, with 0 - 5% water. On smooth substrates, the use of a short pile roller is advised
  • Conventional Air Spraying - Thin with 10 - 20% clean water as required, tip size - 2.0mm, tip pressure 60psi (0.4MPa) approximately
  • Airless Spraying - Thin with 0-15% clean water as required, tip size - 18 thou (0.46mm) approximately, tip pressure - 2100 psi (15MPa) approximately
• Clean all equipment immediately after use with water for best results
• Suitable for use with Bradite Low Slip Hard Aggregate LS30, which should be added to the paint and mixed thoroughly just before use at a rate of 1 x 250ml LS30 tin (400g) per 5 litre of paint

Limitations

• Compatibility with existing coatings should be confirmed by preparing and painting a test patch
• This product is not suitable for applying over asphalt, bitumen, epoxy tar, alkyd, chlorinated rubber or vinyl based paints
• This system is recommended for internal protection and decoration only. Epoxy systems will chalk on external exposure to sunlight, resulting in loss of gloss and colour fade
• The end user and applicator must ensure that the finished floor is safe against slips in all likely usage conditions
• Always refer to the Health and Safety sheet for the product before use, and observe the warning phrases on the label
